The liebster blog award

Ok, so I log into my Twitter account today to find a tweet from the lovely Alyssa Melanie who writes over at Ang Savvy informing me that she had nominated me for the Liebster Award. I was a tad confused at first and I didn't even know what the Liebster award was! I checked with my best friend, Google and now understand it's an 'award' passed on from blogger to blogger, a way for bloggers to help promote one another and help us all to connect. How very nice!

Here are the rules people!

– Answer all the questions that have been sent to you.
– Nominate 11 bloggers who have under 200 followers on twitter.
– Once you've done that that, ask them 11 question of your own.
– Notify them that they have been nominated.
- Tag the person/blog that nominated you in your post.

So let's get down to it shall we?

1) What is your blog about? Why did you choose to blog about it?
Priceless Life of Mine is a lifestyle blog where I share my everyday adventures, swop top tips and connect with the world. I lead such a busy life I thought it would be great to document it this way, putting words to pictures for me to look back on in years to come.

2) Who is your inspiration for your blog?
Lots of fellow bloggers are my inspiration, not any one in particular, I draw inspiration from many. Who knew there were so many inspirational people out there!!!!

3) If you could take 5 makeup/beauty/fashion item with you to heaven, what would they be?
Mascara, so I can bat my eyes at all the hunky cherubs, foundation, nice dewy one to make me look alive!!!! My Mulberry handbag, lip balm (can't ever be without) and Knickers!!!!

4) Do you think it’s worth shelling out money for designer and high-end brands? Why?
I've come to learn that it really is true that you get what you pay for. I do think it's worth it and because I'm someone that has to save my hard earned pennies for the nicer things, they mean a lot more to me.

5) When did you start blogging? What made you do it?
I started just under a year ago. I read a few blogs online and as a lot of people say, I started it for myself as a way to document my busy life. However, I've grown to love it, I'm quite addicted really, and would love for it to develop into something more, like working with brands and attending blogger events etc.

6) Would you buy clothes, makeup or beauty products you haven’t tried on or tested? Why?
Clothes, no brainer, you can always return them. Make up-No. (see question below) Beauty products, ie, creams/lotions/potions, yes I do but not without doing lots of research first, although that still leaves me a drawer full of items that just don't suit!

7) How do you test makeup (especially lipsticks) products at the counter? Do you sanitize them first? Explain how.
I will always test makeup and beauty products before buying. I try to go to the beauty counters where there's an assistant who has testers and can apply them for me, so certainly lipsticks, I know a spatula will always have been used!!!!

8) Would you review a product from a fashion or beauty brand you don’t really like? Why?
Hmm.....left this one, answered the others, now back to this one. If it's something that doesn't fit with my blog, then obviously, no. If it's an item of clothing, let's say, that I wouldn't necessarily choose myself, then yes because I may find that brand is right up my street after all! Make up, for instance, I may not be a fan of the brand but could I be swayed?? Everyone deserves a second chance right? Awww.... enough waffling......quick move on!!!!!! Oh yeah forgot to say, it goes without saying that with any reviews all views and opinions will be honest, all my own, and nothing but the truth your honour! :)

9) What is your favorite drugstore brand? Which of their products do you love?
Boots No7. Currently using and 'love' their nude lipliner.

10) What brand is your most expensive bag? Why did you choose to buy it?
I have a Mulberry bayswater tote. I bought it in June and I am in lurvvvve!!!!! Decided on that particular brand as friends had the same bag. One just had to be mine! Mwaaaaawww!!!

11) Do you join blog giveaways? Why?
Ooooh definite yes to this one, and why not? Everyone loves to win don't they? I won one last year actually and was chuffed to bits. I may see a giveaway on Twitter for example, enter it, and in doing so, find yet another great blog to follow, bonus!

1)Who is your favourite blogger and why?
2)If we could go back in time, just the once, what era would you want to visit? And why? Good question if I do say so myself!!!!
3)What's your favourite season and why?
4)What brand of skin care do you use?
5)Winter or sunshine holiday destination kinda person? And where do you dream of going?
6)Give me five celebrities you would love to have at your dinner table.
7)What do you do to relax?
